I won't even look at the LPs, they're probably as cringy
yo i got a question. how much should i spend on a preamp?
Here's my collection: https://www.discogs.com/user/lyzakthellama/collection
Just recently got Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express and Kitaro's Asia for 10 bucks
Shameless repost of recent cop
dadrock and classical is my jam
A friend of mine told me that it's bad for your turntable if you play lathe cuts. Is this true? I can't find anything about it on Google.
>>63879981
Ask your friend where he gets his facts. If you can't find anything to corroborate it, it's probably anecdotal.
Get used to it, there's a lot of old wives tales permeating records as a hobby.
>>63880092
DONT EVER LET YOUR CABLES TOUCH THE FLOOR
>>63880092
Ah, thanks. I just saw that the lathe just degrades very quickly so I might've misunderstood him.
>>63878597
Just recently started my collection. Got about 40 albums.
Recently bought The Velvet Underground & Nico, The times they are A-changin' and The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust
>>63878577
WHAT'S WITH NOT USING PLASTIC SLEEVES? Ya'll be fucking up you're records for no reason.
>>63878597
yeah they're pretty bad
>>63880264
We /reactionimagesfrom2009/ now.
>>63880293
used to use them. came to the conclusion that life's too short for that shit

Some of my favorite records are 30 years old with the sleeves falling apart, cracked and peeling
It's nice to keep them looking good but I care more about the record than the cover
I bought a few random albums from a weird looking dude. One of them was elvis' christmas album which he sold me for 15$. The sleeve is beat up but the media plays nice, and it goes for about $100 on discogs so I considered that a steal. Also got a compilation of like banjo music that I paid $1 for when it goes for like $30 on discogs and the one I got seems to be in notably excellent condition compared to whats available there. Really a good grab on both I think.
Anyone else gonna get the Fishmans- Long Season vinyl release when it comes out next month?

recent purchase
10th anniverssary edition
>pic related
posted it in the last thread
also got a new pre amp still haven't ripped out the built in pre amp so its still useless at this point
im thinking of treating myself this week and picking up a few albums
stuff i had in mind
summer teeth by wilco
divers by joanna newsom
i can hear your heart beating as one by yo la tengo
also thinking of getting their extra painful release even though i heard a lot of the pressings were shitty something in me still wants to risk it
What kind of a stylus does /vinyl/ use? I recently acquired a line contact stylus (Shibata) to replace my elliptical one. This new stylus helped to reduce the sibilance distortion I had on some records.
>>63880614
See the implication here is that
A) you know what you're doing and looking up the correct pressings
B) you checked what condition the records sell for when they sell at those prices
C) that you know anything about how to grade records
and if my almost-a-year at a record store tells me anything, most people can't grade for shit
>>63879330
40-50 should be enough to get a decent one

You should press those onto 14 records.
i bought the new weezer album
replaced my warped record for this record (even though this record was a dollar more but who cares)

Hope it comes in tomorrow, I can play it out tomorrow night.

had to chose between gkmc and operation doomsday, mf doom's been at the record store since february though so I'm gonna go back and grab it this weekend
>>63882242
I traded my copy of Labor Days to my friend for No Love Deep Web
>>63882012
Shit's gorgeous
You preordered the HM1 collection yet senpai
>>63882456
It's completely worthless if it's pressed onto 3 discs only.
Much rather have a box of 7'' vinyls than this.
>>63882482
Why?
>>63882582
It's all dance music, innit?
Why bother buying this crap if it's not convenient to play out?

lmao
I just threw that in because I knew it would bother people.
I've literally never once seen someone with an actual non dronelike collection on these threads. I am convinced that most neo-collectors only do it for the image and thus stay very safe and trendy in what they get, so they can show it off and get approval from others that are the exact same.
>>63882667
You actually think that wasn't always a central element of music?
4+ years of collecting
>>63882667
>be trying to build up my collection of early and obscure world psych and kraut
>most of them cost a fuckton
at least I'm still nowhere near droneland like most people but it hurts
>>63882667
mine isn't dronelike m8
>>63882667
Don't act like you've never posted any kind of composite image reflecting your tastes in the hope of garnering the approval of internet strangers.
>>63882667
Should I post a couple of my white labels, I got some that are rare as fuck and go for well over 50 quid.
The problem is that most of them are white labels in battered generic sleeves, so it's not worth showing off.
>>63879701
i like the records your dad gave you
>>63882348
I'm not a fan of no love deep web so I'd probably go for the money store if I didn't already own it
>>63882828
thank you
in my defence I did only get them because he died, it was very sad times for me
How's it going rares coming through
>>63882667
Yeah, man, people sure would be interested in my crate full of old German trance 12''s, right?
And my shelf full of house remixes of 90s pop songs, huh?
>>63880258
Only certain lathe cuts degrade quickly. The majority of hobbyist cuts being produced now, the cuts made on polycarbonate/Lexan, have lifespans on par with regular vinyl records.
Lathe cuts and acetates made on vintage (lacquer-coated metal or fibre-core) materials are the ones that degrade quickly, along with some on other non-standard materials (like picnic plates).
>>63883002
sheeeit that Hendrix
nice on the Ayers too
first pressings of Beggar's Banquet aren't really rare tho friendo
>>63883002
>motorhead
>bowie

>sabbath
>hendrix
it's dadrock but it's the GOAT kind. excellent taste anon.
Some rare shit, I guess
>>63882601
Explain yourself.
Why on earth would having multiple tracks on a single record ever be an issue?
>>63883230
2 is fine, when you're out and it's dark and your hands are shaky, you can still get it queued up properly and more importantly you can read the duration off fairly cleanly.
Plus, if most of the tracks are junk, it's better to just bring the ones you care for, which you can't when they're all on the same plate.
>>63883301
Where are you playing your records where those issues are even relevant? If you're playing them in any standard home environment it's not even a concern.
>>63883458
>Where are you playing your records where those issues are even relevant?
Where indeed?
